Ireland pressing on in the war on single use plastic

The war on single-use plastic has begun in earnest in Ireland with businesses, environmental groups, and a prominent GAA club joining the battle to cut its use. Building material group, Kingspan, has partnered with a foundation that removes plastic from the ocean and plans to reuse as much of the plastic recovered as it can in the production of insulation products.

Friends of the Earth has partnered with Voice Ireland to empower communities to take action on single-use plastics while Youghal GAA has joined forces with Refill Ireland to encourage the use of reusable water bottles.
